The March 14 directive, signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, uses an obscure 18th-century law — the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — to give law enforcement nationwide the power to bypass basic constitutional protections.
According to the memo, agents can break into a home if getting a warrant is “impracticable,” and they don’t need a judge’s approval. Instead, immigration officers can sign their own administrative warrants. The bar for action is low — a “reasonable belief” that someone might be part of a Venezuelan gang is enough.
BRB. Going to invest in Kevlar cod pieces.
They already exist. When you look at some of the overt armor that was/is used by the military–particularly the BALCS armors–the full kit will have shoulder/upper arm coverage, a high collar, and a flap that covers your lower abdomen. While these are mostly to protect against fragmentation, they should stop all handgun threats as well. Outside of GWOT and some SWAT teams, that kind of armor isn’t common though, because it’s bulky and very restrictive.
Oh, and a hit directly to the balls is gonna rupture a testicle anyway because of backface deformation. :)
